2009-10 Men's Basketball Team Highlights 12th Rally in the Valley
2/18/2020 9:45:00 AM | General
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - The 2009-10 UNI Men's Basketball Sweet 16 team will be the featured guests at the 12th annual Rally in the Valley presented by Cedar Valley Dental Associates scheduled for Saturday, April 18 in the McLeod Center.
The Rally is the largest fundraising event of the year for the Panther Scholarship Club and a can't-miss social event.
Cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and the silent auction will begin at 5 p.m. Dinner will begin at 7 p.m. with entertainment and live auction to follow throughout the evening.
The 2009-10 UNI Men's Basketball team is the most successful team in program history with the deepest run into the NCAA Tournament, but most Panther fans define that team by the upset over Overall No. 1 seed Kansas in the second round of March Madness.
The Panthers went 30-5 overall in the season, including a 15-game win streak, and a 15-3 record in Missouri Valley Conference play to run away with the regular-season title.
The Panthers earned the No. 9 seed in the Midwest Region of the NCAA tournament and opened with a 69-66 win over UNLV in the Ford Center in Oklahoma City. The Panthers faced the heavily favored Jayhawks in the second round but didn't back down.
UNI controlled the game from the opening tip, building an early 10-2 lead. Â KU couldn't muster a response until the final minutes. When they did climb back into the game, their hopes were dashed by Ali Farokhmanesh and one of the gutsiest shots in NCAA tournament history, a dagger three-pointer with 30 seconds left on the shot clock and just 37 seconds to play.
The win propelled UNI to the Sweet 16 for the first time in school history. Adam Koch was named the Missouri Valley Larry Bird Trophy (MVP) winner and the Eagle Bank & Trust Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Lucas O'Rear earned the Sixth-Man Award and coach Ben Jacobson was named the MVC Coach of the Year.
